Shazam Ios 14
Already, Shazam is baked into Siri, since Apple owns the music discovery service. Coming soon, you’ll have yet another way to name that tune. A new feature is coming soon in iOS 14.2, available.
Apple has pushed a new Shazam iOS update that finally brings widget support. The app version number is 14.4 and makes it faster to identify songs with just one tap. Another benefit of the widget is that it will even show recently discovered songs so that you can revisit them without opening the application.
Shazam Ios 14 Features
As is the case with other widget apps, Shazam offers a total of three widget options. The first one is a small square-shaped widget that only shows the most recently discovered song. The second widget is somewhere rectangular in shape which shows the latest three discovered songs with the most recent one at the top. The last widget shows four recently discovered songs and the most recently discovered song is at the top.
All of these widgets have a Shazam icon in the top right corner. Tapping on the icon will initiate the Shazam song tracking feature that saves you from the hassle of launching the app and detecting the song. It will specifically be useful in scenarios when the widget is on the home screen.
The new version of the Shazam application is available for download via the App Store. It is a free download that should become available anytime soon.
The new versions of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 will provide, among other things, access to a Shazam button in the Control Center, new emojis and the usual bug fixes. There are also new versions of tvOS. To identify songs from Control Center, tap the Shazam button to identify what's currently playing on your device or around you. Shazam can identify songs playing on your device even if you're using headphones. Requires iOS or iPad OS 14.2 or later. Nov 05, 2020 With iOS 14.2, Apple is welcoming Shazam as a built-in feature with the mobile operating system (pictured at the top of this article). There is a new Control Center option for Shazam that makes launching music recognition much easier.
Apple acquired music-discovery app Shazam in 2018, and quickly made it an ad-free experience. While Shazam has remained a standalone app available across mobile operating systems, Apple has now integrated Shazam more tightly into its ecosystem with iOS 14, allowing iPhone and iPad users to name that tune without opening a separate app. Here's how to use it.
Add Shazam to Control Center
To quickly figure out what song is playing, the best way to access Shazam is by adding it to Control Center. Here’s how to enable it:
- Open iPhone Settings
- Tap Control Center
- Tap the “+” next to Music Recognition
This adds a Shazam icon to Control Center. To move its position, tap and hold the hamburger icon to the right of the Music Recognition option and drag it up or down. To remove it, tap the red minus (-) icon and tap Remove.
Shazam Control Center
When you need to find out the name and artist of the song you’re currently bopping your head to, swipe down from the top-right of your iPhone (or swipe up from the bottom if you have a Home button) to reveal Control Center, then tap the Shazam icon to start the search. Shazam will dig through its library and display the track name, artist name, and a small single/album cover art image as a notification banner at the top of the screen.
Tapping on the banner will open Shazam’s website with more track information, where you can also check out synced lyrics. If you have the Shazam app installed, you will be taken to the app and presented with additional track and artist information.
Given Shazam is now an Apple app, the option to open the song in Apple Music features prominently, but you can tap the three-dot menu on the top right to open it within another music-streaming service, like Spotify. Connect your Shazam app to Apple Music or Spotify, and the app will display the option to open your Shazam'd songs in that app going forward.

Another way to use Shazam’s music-recognition feature is to ask Siri: 'What song is playing?' Siri will discover and reveal additional track information via a notification banner, similar to the Control Center method. Additionally, you can tell Siri “play more songs like this,” and it will queue up similar tracks in Apple Music.

Evoking Siri to discover music is faster than opening Control Center and tapping the Shazam icon. On the other hand, by using Siri, you won’t be able to disguise the fact that you don’t know a song. But however you access Shazam, the app can help you avoid feeling like an out-of-touch old fogey when it comes to what the kids are listening to these days.
